I have now pushed my working branch to tschwinge/t/hurd/go, and will
update this from time to time, both for integrating further changes (my
own as well as those that you send me), and merge in GCC trunk changes.
On that branch, use something like »git diff :/refs/top-bases/baseline«
to diff your working tree against the branch's base.  When reviewing the
commit history on that branch, it may be helpful to exclude any bulk
merges from trunk, so use something like »git log HEAD ^origin/trunk«.

Fotis and Svante, please base any futher work for the Hurd port for GCC
Go on that branch.  Send patches by email, for now.

These packages are available now.  Thanks Samuel!
